I simply followed the instructions that were included with the parts I ordered (replacement bearings for the drum). The fix was successful and now the dryer works like new. I thank you, so does my dog the squeal was making her miserable.

Removed front and top with phillip screwdriver and 8mm socket. slid new belt over drum, had to remove an access panel at lower rear of dryer to thread the new belt over belt pulley and spindle. Put it all back together,and fortunately it worked properly. I'm not much of a handyman, and it took about 45 minutes. Make sure to put the ribbed side of new belt against drum.

I actually called a repair service in our area. The serviceman asked questions and detected that I didn't need a timer unit but thought it was just a knob that was required. He offered to come out but the expense would be considerable. I am SO relieved that it was indeed the knob, and the dryer was fixed. In this time in our lives, every penny counts. I must applaud the serviceman for his honesty and dedication to his trade. He directed me to this website, but also added if there were any questions or problems, he would be happy to help!

I replaced the dryer belt drying to resolve a loud squeak. After the belt change the dryer still had a loud squeak. After reviewing the videos on Appliance Parts Pro I decided it was not the expensive to replace the rear drum bearing, front drum support, bearing slides, and the idler pulley. With the guidance provided by Appliance Parts Pro it was easy to rebuild the inside of the dryer. It took me about an hour to do everything. The dryer now works great.
